Of these deputations and political representatives, the oldest and most important was to the Emir of Abu Dhabi, who was based in the city of Abu Dhabi, now the capital city of the UAE and the site of the modern British embassy.
The UK also maintains an embassy in Dubai, subordinate to the Abu Dhabi embassy, headed by a Consul General.List of heads of mission
